He was comparing ppv's with non ppvs. The Wilder equivalent of Showtime would be a Sky Sports subscription if he did that with no ppv the numbers would be astronomical. As you improve as a fighter you get promoted from subscription channel to ppv.

yep you need to do a multiplier for UK to US ppv (personally I think that is killing US boxing) but Wilder is doing zero ppv. Seriously he's money ... unless your FFloyd or Canelo. (Also you have to allow for what the pubs are doing which costs them a lot more and where a lot of people are watching)

Curious about this post. You seem to be a non-US resident (or you work in TV or advertising).

Could you elaborate on why you think "he's killing it". I have a similar opinion but I'd appreciate it if you elaborated a little.

At an eating contest?

Nice comeback lol hahaha

Very good number all things considered.

Those are excellent numbers considering most knew the outcome of the fight before it started!! I think the AJ wilder fight should happen next while the interest in the fight is so HIGH!!! These are both elite guys and if the fight is entertaining and competitive no matter the outcome neither fighters stock should fall too much if at all.

Another dumb UK fan comparing UK PPVs that cost about $30 to American PPVs that can cost 3 times that.

Your an idiot, your make a false comparison, and attempt to pass it off as fact.

Just be quiet.

Even comparing it to the US PPVs... I'm pretty sure Wilder has still sold 0 PPVs...

Good azz numbers considering Showtime didnt want to telecast the fight and fight itself wasnt promoted much.

[-DSG-]

****ty numbers for a ****ty fight.

Excellent numbers for a fight we knew the outcome of!

I got some people to watch the fight and they all said Wilder is a beast and they want to see him fight Anthony Joshua next!

People will continue to tune in with Wilder knowing he's fun to watch and makes for exciting KO's and fights!

Been watching his IG followers. He has 425k before the fight. He's nearly over 500k just a few days later.

That KO highlight is doing solid rounds on social media. He just needs to keep doing what's he doing. People obviously tune in for him. This number for Showtime is something to talk about.

More important than the Ratings is that he got the major Moment that went viral and has casuals talking with that Brutal KO so Wilder Star is finally starting to SHINE! Good For him but also good for AJ as well because it is only making their fight Bigger! That KO was Tending big time and a ton of Memes was made from it so things are starting to Roll for Wilder which is GREAT! Now he has to keep the momentum rolling, keep talking, get out and do interviews with different media outlets and keep talking up the fight with AJ
